Fireware CLI Upgrade Command
Hi, in the Watchguard Web GUI there is an option to download and deploy the latest Fireware version direct from the WG website (FTP site I guess). If I do the upgrade using the local CLI I have to specify a source location:
upgrade system from (location) [yes|no]
upgrade system from ftp://test:testing@1.2.3.4/xtm5_b0.sysa-dl yes
Is there a way to use the CLI to auto-upgrade in the same manner as the Web GUI? Or is there a public FTP/TFTP server that WG provides for these upgrades that I can utilise? Trying to avoid having to manually download the upgrade to my own FTP server first. I do appreciate this problem goes away if the box is cloud managed rather than local managed, but for whatever reason that's not possible (not a technical restriction, just a management one).
Thanks.

Hi @vbuk
The CLI upgrade command pre-dates the auto-download feature in the WebUI. The auto-download from web feature was only ever implemented in the WebUI.
Management via WatchGuard Cloud allows scheduled upgrades and allows the firewall to download from the cloud CDN.
If you'd like to request that as a feature, please log into WatchGuard Cloud (cloud.watchguard.com) and click the question mark in the top right of the page. Select Give Feedback. This will take you to the idea portal, where you can submit the request and get feedback from our product management team.
